LATCH compatible child restraints include
two rigid or webbing-mounted attach-
ments that can be connected to two an-
chors located at certain seating positions
in your vehicle. With this system, you do not
have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the
child restraint. Check your child restraint for
a label stating that it is compatible with
LATCH. This information may also be in the
instructions provided by the child restraint
manufacturer.
When installing a child restraint, carefully
read and follow the instructions in this
manual and those supplied with the child
restraint.
Top tether anchor
WARNING
• If the tonneau cover (if so equipped)
contacts the top tether strap when it
is attached to the top tether anchor,
remove the tonneau cover (if so
equipped) from the vehicle or secure
it on the cargo floor below its attach-
ment location. If the tonneau cover (if
so equipped) is not removed, it may
damage the top tether strap during a
collision. Your child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a collision if
the child restraint top tether strap is
damaged.
• Do not allow cargo to contact the top
tether strap when it is attached to
the top tether anchor. Properly se-
cure the cargo so it does not contact
the top tether strap. Cargo that is not
properly secured or that contacts the
top tether strap may damage the top
tether strap during a collision. Your
child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child re-
straint top tether strap is damaged.
• Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage
the child restraint anchorages. The
child restraint will not be properly in-
stalled using the damaged anchor-
age, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
